John Joseph Cangelosi

I knew you as Cangi. We shared our love of magic. Your dad showed us how to shoot a falling stone. We were best friends at OLPS and mourned the loss of your little sister. I´m sorry that we lost touch. I was out of the country when you passed and only just learned you are gone. I´ll see you soon. LL

John is was my distant cousin, his father was my mother's first cousin. My condolences. I knew his parents and sisters. Kathleen

So sorry to have just learned about John's passing by reading his obituary online today. I was the around the corner neighbor who was friends with John's little sister, Marian when we all lived in Chalmette, many years ago.

JJ and I had a special bond funny as it seems we for some strange reason picked up the names Big Sleaze and Lil Sleaze which he gave me a weight belt engraved with that name. I can look...

To John's family, I am so very sorry for your loss. JJ was so very witty and I can't help but to smile now at one of his clever pranks. I will always remember how bright and interesting he could be.
